Since release in 2019, Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding video game has attracted over 20 million players with its blend of cinematic ambition, metaphysical mystery, lingering existential dread and lots and lots of walking. And now the franchise is spinning off in directions we never imagined.
A second game, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach was released for PlayStation 5 in June, there's also a two-part novelisation. A24's live-action movie adaptation is slated for a 2027 release, and Kojima Productions also has an animated movie, tentatively named Death Stranding Mosquito, in the works with Line Mileage.
